A jewel suspended between the land and the sea.
An unparalleled city, famous for its enchanting canals, elegant “gondolas”
and architecture that tell centuries of history, it’s a place where every
corner is suggestive and unique.
The recent history tells that in the 18th century Venice was one of the
most refined republics in Europe, with a strong influence on the art,
architecture and literature of that time.
Its territory included Veneto, Friuli, Istria, Dalmatia, Kotor, part of Lombardy and the Ionian islands.
It maintained its independence for 1000 years.
Its Piazza San Marco, with the majestic “basilica” and the imposing bell tower overlooking the lagoon, are the beating heart of a city that has always been able to intertwine oriental and western traditions.
What to see in Venice
Among the most beautiful things to absolutely do in Venice there is the visit to the Doges Palace with its rooms rich in history, in particular, the suggestive prisons that allows you to cross the Bridge of Sighs, once crossed by prisoners to reach the citys Courthouse.
Along the most classic itinerary, you cannot miss a visit to the “Rialto Bridge” with a view of the “Grand Canal”, “Scala Contarini del Bovolo”, the “La Fenice” theater, the “Jewish ghetto” and the famous “Acqua Alta”bookshop.
Don’t forget to stop at one of the many “bacari” to taste a good glass of wine and a delicious “cicchetto”.
Discover the islands of Burano, Merano and Torcello.
If it is not the first time you choose to visit Venice, we suggest you to
move to the surrounding islands: just get on a boat to reach Murano,
Burano and Torcello.
Known all over the world for its refined glass production, Murano is the
best known, here you cannot miss a visit to the Glass Museum or to one of the many furnaces to learn about the ancient technique of glass processing.
Not far away we find Burano, known for the production of fine needle
lace and for the colorful fishermen’s houses that distinguish it: it is the perfect place for photography lovers.
Torcello, on the other hand, was an important commercial center of the time, now it is almost uninhabited and this has led it to fully preserve its charm. Here you can enjoy the quietness, while enjoying typical dishes in a prestigious restaurant.
The “Serenissima”, as it is called, it’s a city that knows no borders: every bridge, every street, every reflection in the water is a promise of timeless beauty.
